A couple of weeks ago I declared and shared my dreams and desires for the next 12 months here. It felt gooooood. Did you do the same?

So I took it a bit further. I’m envisioning Future Claire, visualising (and manifesting) my life right-down-the-track. I’m all for the power of presence but it’s a truly beautiful place in your idyllic imagination.

Here we go.

_______________________________________________________

I’m 30-something (or so) but feel as young as ever, my skin glows and my body sings. I work with inspiring and innovating humans, people who blow my mind and are a catalyst for change. I coach beautiful women from all over the world. I write, write and write some more. I make art. I feel useful, creative and with soul.

My babe of a husband and I spend months travelling abroad with our little family (one boy, one girl please), accumulating less and experiencing more. Once a year I take off on my own, yoga-retreating in Bali, lounging on the sand in Barcelona, riding tuk-tuks like a local in Chiang Mai and writing in cafes in Paris. I feel sovereign, free and alive.

I look at the love of my life with respect, admiration and fall more and more in love with him everyday. We teach our children to love themselves, to be mindful, curious and brave. My parents are retired comfortably; their lives reflect ease and flow. My sisters visit often, my brother strong and well.

I dream of a haven of creativity and wellness. Our gorgeous home overlooks the ocean; natural light, open doors and polished floor boards. Tree houses with rope ladders and fairy lights in the branches. My bestest girlfriends and I sip chardonnay on the deck, belly laughing and smiling in awe of each other’s love-filled lives. I feel connected, grateful and loved.

Yoga mat unrolled; sun salutations in the morning, savasana at dusk. My own books on the bookshelf, veggies on the stove, (lots of) money in the bank, stamps in the passport, art hanging on the walls. I feel fulfilled, engaged and open.

And every single day I ask myself ‘How can I put more good into this world?’

And I do.

I love love love this. I felt it for you babe. I felt you living there and decided I’ll be sipping champers on your deck with you at some stage too. I haven’t done this exercise in such a long time. I’m going to do it today again. Perfect perfect perfect.

Absolutely LOVE this lovely! What a hugely inspirational thing to read. I have been wanting to do this but something’s been holding me back, reckon it must be a touch of fear! I’m committing to making time this weekend to sit down with my journal and map out not just what I want my future to contain but what it looks like.
Thanks for the inspo!

WOW Claire, you have me buzzing with excitement for your future life. As always, you write so beautifully & have created such amazing imagery – I can totally see you living your dream! Thanks for sharing & for the inspiration, I’m defs going to do this today! xx

Wow Claire, what a beautiful, inspirational and moving post!! I can feel so much what you write and I so believe your dreams will manifest into reality… You truly are doing good things with this world on such a real level, and allowing others to believe that they too can make a change! xx

So about a year and a half ago I wrote an ideal life list like this when I was not in a good place at all. Separated from my husband, renting a tiny unit with my 18 month old with no work and no community because we had only recently moved. My list felt huge and so far from where I was at that time. I wanted a love who supported me and my dreams, a house by the sea, more children, to be teaching yoga in a beautiful studio, to have a strong community around me, more children. Now… My husband and I reunited 6 months later and he now supports me in every way, I’m due with our second baby in the next few weeks, I teach in the best yoga studio on the Sunshine Coast (biased much), I’ve found my community there, AND we have a house by the beach. (It was a total dive when we bought it but that was the price to make dreams happen!) Keep dreaming big lady. X

CLASS ENROLLING NOW

HI! I'M CLAIRE BAKER.

I'm an Australian women's coach and writer living in London. I teach the art of self-care, creative rekindling and how to live life by your menstrual cycle via my eBooks, workshops and online courses. I believe in telling the truth about our everyday (the ups and the downs) and I try my best to do that here. Twice a month-ish I email my community all the best bits. Can I include you?
